The Statute Law Revision Act (Northern Ireland) 1952 was an important law passed in 1952. It was created by the Parliament of Northern Ireland. This law helped to update and tidy up older laws in Northern Ireland.
Think of it like cleaning out an old closet. Over time, laws can become outdated or no longer needed. This Act helped to remove those old laws. It also made it easier to publish new, updated versions of all the laws.
This Act was part of a bigger effort to keep laws current. It was passed because of powers given by an earlier law, the Statute Law Revision Act 1950. It is also part of a group of similar laws passed around the same time. These groups are known as the Statute Law Revision Acts (Northern Ireland) 1952 and 1953 and the Statute Law Revision Acts (Northern Ireland) 1952 to 1954.
What is a Statute Law Revision Act?
A Statute Law Revision Act is a special type of law. Its main goal is to make the collection of laws clearer and easier to use. It does this by getting rid of laws that are no longer useful. These might be laws that have already been replaced. They could also be laws that have simply become unnecessary over time.
This process helps legal experts and everyday people. It makes it easier to find and understand the current laws. It prevents confusion from old, irrelevant rules.
The Parliament of Northern Ireland
The Parliament of Northern Ireland was the law-making body for Northern Ireland. It existed from 1921 until 1972. This Parliament was responsible for creating laws that affected people living in Northern Ireland. The Statute Law Revision Act (Northern Ireland) 1952 was one of the laws it passed.
Changes to the Act
Laws can change over time. Even laws designed to update other laws can be updated themselves. The Statute Law Revision Act (Northern Ireland) 1952 had a part called the "Schedule." A Schedule is like an appendix or a list at the end of a document. It often contains details or lists of things.
In this case, the Schedule of the 1952 Act was later removed. This happened because of another law. That law was the Statute Law Revision (Northern Ireland) Act 1973. This shows how laws are always being reviewed and updated.
